Remedy Files For New Control Trademark, Could This Be The Multiplayer Game Fans Have Been Waiting On?
Speculation abounds.
Control and Alan Wake developer Remedy has recently filed for a new trademark that could indicate a setting for the upcoming multiplayer Control game fans have been waiting on.
FBC: Firebreak was recently trademarked by the developer, and the name gives a couple of clues to its setting. The FBC is the Federal Bureau of Control in the Control series, while Firebreak is a location inside The Oldest House from the original Control game.
What this means for the series isn't 100% clear, but if this new trademark pertains to the upcoming multiplayer game, it sounds like it will be set inside of The Oldest House.
It's also interesting to note that the trademark also encompasses clothing and multimedia assets, making wearable merchandise likely, and a watchable series or movie of some type possible.
As for what it means exactly, we'll just have to wait and see, but speculation is quite fun.

If so called "fans" want multiplayer/coop/whatever shit they've got 2 advices from me:
1) Go and play SCP with friends and leave Remedy alone
2) Go play Redfall to find out what kind of MP game comes from developers who previously did great story-based single-player games.
